[@TheListener2000]

Excellent presentation, clear information, good cinematography and very clear sound. Good pace of delivery from a very personable presenter. Collecting mine this week!

[@albertomartin4812]

Great car. I'm getting mine tomorrow, can't wait.

[@AgentChaosMeme]

Congrats. What trim are you getting?

[@albertomartin4812]

@@AgentChaosMeme Sport, pearl white colour. Really love the contrast with the black rearviews and tires.

What kind of mpg's are you getting?

@@packey746 I'll tell you in L/100 km, sorry. I've made 3000 km so far, and the average is at 4.8, mixed driving.

This vid deserves more likes for its great details. Thanks for the superb video!

[@Doleary1]

I have just watched through again. Thank you for the demonstration. I will, all being well, pick up my new car in two weeks. It has been a very very very long wait but hopefully it will be worth it.

What a fantastically detailed video, well done! Defo considering this model and your video really helped, so clear and concise. 😊👌

[@pillred5974]

I can 100% recommend the car I have the Advance if you can stretch to it it's well worth the extra. The performance is amazing considering how economical it is it's so comfortable and easy to drive too.

[@petebarnard123]

Great video. Thanks. I am picking up my e:HEV sport trim in 2 weeks

[@wallace-bv4rl]

Enjoying the car and the presentations you’ve done have been very useful. On the downside the left hand side of steering wheels are really defeating me. My use of cruise control is defo wrong. I think I’m resetting from scratch every time I use it within a single journey. As it only works when driving I’ve found experimenting with it tricky!!

[@r.a.180]

Superb video!!!

good review will be getting mine in june

Great review 😊

Excellent. Enjoy!

Was the delivery on time or bit earlier or later?

@@Eneretschi it’s predicted for Nov 9 now!! Hoping it arrives by then!

Do the settings save for different keys? Sharing the partner with wife, does she have to adjust the windows every time after I use it ?

[@parrou3]

Hi, Question please, if Honda says that Civic has 184HP, the cumulative power between the combustion engine and the electric motors, so really at a given moment when I want to accelerate or drift at that moment, are the 184hp guaranteed or does it depend on which engine is triggered? means what I have exactelly under my feet when i hit the accelerator? I hope my question is clear, sorry if not

[@gerrycollins2335]

The electric motor which, most of the time, drives the wheels on its own, is rated at just under 184 bhp. It has an impressive max torque rating of 315 Nm (232 ft-lb) which is the main quality that you notice when accelerating what is a relatively lightweight vehicle. The combustion engine all this time is not driving the wheels directly at all, but (as and when it is needed) spins an electricity generator which can charge the high-voltage battery and/or direct electrical energy straight to the above electric motor. So to answer your question, the max 184 bhp is available most the time when you are likely to need it (i.e. accelerating at normal road speeds) : you do not add together the power outputs of ICE and electric motor, as you would do with a parallel hybrid system. Now, at speeds over about 100 kph / 62 mph, the electric motor would soon exhaust the Civic's small high-voltage battery, and in any case it becomes more efficient to have the ICE drive the wheels directly. So the drivetrain (seamlessly in my experience) switches from the electric motor to the ICE, via a clutch. The combustion engine has max 140 bhp and 137 ft-lb torque, which is fine for motorway cruising when the car simply needs to counter wind and friction resistance to maintain high speed. What it does not have is bags more power available to accelerate quickly from say 80 mph to 100 mph. This is when it is most likely you would notice that the car is less powerful than one using all of its possible bhp at all speeds. Finally, you are unlikely to be able to "drift" the Civic, if for some odd reason you felt the urge. Its built-in safety systems can be disabled to some extent, but it has a particular aversion to loss of control.

[@timlester4510]

Mine is coming soon. And now I know how to work it...maybe.

[@JR-dd7sl]

When is this coming to the states?

[@alexbernadina3082]

I have to wait a bit till Q1 2023

[@alexbernadina3082]

Update: got a call from Honda, next week I can go and get my car🥳🥳🥳

[@alanplayford]

Wow! I ordered just after UK launch, been told delivery March 2023 so hoping they can work wonders with me too!

[@gibstuboss]

Honda should have added a electric boot release hope they can add one for me as I am disabled wheelchair user and the boot is to high to reach so when my car gets here in October my honda dealer will have to send it to get it adapted for me to use and hopefully they will put a electric boot release while fitting the accerator & brake can't wait for the car to arrive 🤞

[@charlesjames799]

Does the Civic have a power boot and soft close doors? Your guided tour of the car was impressive however I don’t think mentioned those things. I know you opened the boot towards the end of the video.

[@DisiKleep]

No power boot and no soft close doors if by 'soft close' you mean that doors close themself if they are not closed all the way.

[@forsdykemontague1017]

Picked a cancellation up yesterday, it’s an Elegance have my name down for the Advance and have been told at least 18 months 😬

[@forsdykemontague1017]

@@IanB-uy1wh Was it a cancellation? I managed to get an Elegance cancellation but as yet the order book is still closed at my dealer. That said I am super happy with the Elegance !

[@atomicironvanguard]

@@forsdykemontague1017 Not sure why you've been told 18 months. Order bank re-opens in July. I know Honda in Hull have 2 grey Advance allocated for them that they are expecting in September (obv subject to change). Another dealership told me that they expect a 2-3 month for the first new orders once the bank reopens.

[@pillred5974]

Just a small question about the doors locking, do they lock automatically as you pull away at say above a certain speed or do you have to lock them yourself every time? thanks.

[@pillred5974]

They don't lock automatically I press the lock button on the door before pulling away.

[@xandrunull]

Does it have remote start?

[@kroberts7576]

I have a new crv hybrid with set up as the Civic can you stop the car leave it in drive or reverse and just switch off the power button mine seems to put it into park when you do this am I doing something wrong. This was the system I used in my Peugeot 3008 when shutting the engine off

[@gerrycollins2335]

There is no need to select Park if you want to switch off anyway: pressing the Power button to turn off will automatically put it in Park. However you must remember to apply the electric brake.

[@Mexxx65]

Do the front seats have adjustable lumbar support?

[@greymark420]

Yes

[@Gaben38]

I wish there was wireless Android Auto. Clearly the hardware is all there, maybe they will deliver it via software update.

I just double checked and no it does not work with the Civic, it works with the Jazz, HR-V and Honda e! Sorry for misleading you. Don't let that stop you though! ;)

[@robertmcbride1859]

How soon can you actually get a new Civic? I had heard it's a year, is that true??

[@brayleys]

Depends on the model & colour. Please contact you local dealer or our team for a better idea www.crownhonda.co.uk/new-cars/enquiry/civic-hybrid/

[@gerrycollins2335]

Wow! How have I survived 52 years of driving and motorycling, without technology taking over and keeping me safe?

[@olifilipe]

One major flaw for me. I can't understand why, having fully electrical seats, especially on Advanced trim, the omission of memory seats. This is car that will be driven by dads and moms around the world and setting up for both every time one gets in the driver's seat couldn't be more of an hassle. Inconceivable on this day and age. In this case, you can't even coun't the clicks like on manual adjustable ones. That's pretty much my only criticism to an otherwise amazing Honda product.

[@DancinJim]

Unsure why you think this is purely a product for parents. Young single people will drive this too.

[@colinlambert791]

BE WARNED! Brake hold will only do so for about 30-45 seconds. It will then release and you will start creeping towards the car in front of you!

[@albertomartin4812]

I've used the brake hold for a couple of days and didn't notice that time limit. Thanks anyway, I'll be cautious.

[@davidbell2649]

I can only imagine you inadvertently touched the accelerator. Honda's brake hold system will apply for 10 minutes. If you do not move within that time frame, it will apply the full parking brake automatically.

[@IceNdice93]

720p? really?

[@marcuspfister2047]

Clearly no

[@Bitcoinaire1]

What does the “USB” app on the infotainment system do?

[@brayleys]

If you connect a phone and do not want to use Apple Car Play / Android auto it will sync your phone's contacts & control music.
